Cat Lover

and hiss and spit when I'm vexed,
but here with you, I'm less feral,
less scratchy, more content.
I curl up by the fire
with one eye open
and gently now, you stroke my neck
while I purr off to sleep.

I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat,
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I feel feline.

I like my independence.
I like to go out at night
and nose around different places.
I may never be tamed,
but if you are there waiting
I will find my way home
so I can let you stroke my neck
while I purr off to sleep.

I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat,
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat,
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I feel feline.
I feel feline.
I feel feline.
I feel feline.

I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat, lover.
I'm a cat
and tonight, tonight I feel feline.
I feel feline.
I feel feline.
